Default Injector cleaner for EFI models

Has anyone used any fuel injector cleaners in Their fuel on fuel injected models? I have been told that Sea Foam works great, but I am a little concerned about using anything until I get some opinions! Any thoughts on this? I know it has more than likely already been discussed here somewhere, but I just don't have time to search and read!

I use Lucas Fuel Treatment in both bikes and all my cars. Put it in every time I do an oil change.

Not sure how handy you are, but it's not too difficult to pull the injectors and clean them out. Search DIY injector cleaner and you should come across a few different designs. I have used them numerous time on various bikes. Start to finish 1st time should run you 1-2hrs, wait until you fuel tank is low so you don't have to drain several gallons.

Was more concerned about keeping the injectors running clean instead of removing for cleaning! I will remove them when I do a pm on the bike, but I was interested in fuel additives and cleaners! Has anyone had any good experiences with that star Brite blue stuff that's supposed to offset the Ethynol?

I have used STP fuel injector cleaner a couple of times in my 09 Fat Bob and it does help. I add it three times a season, spring after burning the fuel with stabilizer in it, mid riding season and toward the fall. For the couple of bucks it costs it's cheap maintenance.

I use Amsoil quickshot.
I like the way it mixes with the water and forces it out.
This new gas sucks.
I use it every now and then not all the time just to give it a water flush.

I use sea foam on my bike regularly, it is sensor friendly and i have no probs. I would consider it the best part of maintenance. Keeps my bike running great.

I'm a big believer in Sea Foam...ran it in bikes, atvs & vehicles for years.
Works well as a fuel stabilizer, fuel system cleaner, and good @ removing water from your fuel.
I usually run it through my bike once in the spring, once mid-summer, and use it all winter to prevent condensation in the tank and stabilize the fuel during longer times between fill-ups.
I mix 1 oz. per gallon.

It has been my experince that running a good, top tier gasoline like Chevron with Techron all the time certainly helps as well. Everytime I pulled an injector out of my Corvettes or Mustangs they looked like new, so it should work well in bikes too.
